Things I didn't expect about Muenchen

2 days remaining and i'll be back to Cairo .. I'll definitely miss everything here..

The top 9 things I didn't expect about Muenchen are:

1. Timings: Who said germans are punctual more than any other on the planet ? They're not.. they're normal.. even sometimes the train or the bus can be late for 10 minutes !
2. People: They ARE generous ! and helpful ! Do you believe it ? I still don't !
3. "G"irls: Girls are the exception. 'G'irls are the normal.
4. Language: They're not tightly bound to their language, they don't mind speaking in English (unless they don't know), at all !
5. Asians: They're almost more than the germans !
6. Services: Computer Services suck ! You cannot get a trivial problem solved here.
7. Cleanliness: Rooms can be as dirty as in Egypt, don't believe me ? Check Willi-Graf Str., 17
8. Pedestrians: I was amazed to see them not always stopping for the red traffic light! It's not very common but I have seen it quite few times, and I thought I would never see it.
9. Smokers: The ratio is much below what I expected.

Personally I have changed my idea about the german character 120 degrees!

I'm finally here!

Hello ! It's great you've found your way here to my blog. If you're interested in computer science and software development, definitely this will not be your last visit. I have been thinking for a while of creating my own web page where I can post my blogs in addition to the information I get access to everyday. Unfortunately, as you see, it's a problem of time. This is just another idea that I have been having in mind long ago but I haven't been taking any serious actions. Anyways, here's my first serious action, the blog! Just stick to it and contribute to the discussion.

You might be wondering about the name "Wiki mix". This is one of the things that I try to avoid, giving names! Anyways, the name is inspired by my belief, which has been fastly developing over time, in wiki and open source. I believe this is going to turn the life of nations upside down. Don't believe me ? Just observe...

I guess one of my very first posts will be about this (Wiki and Open Source). Hope to see you back here and would like to hear your feedback.
